Creative Life
A Life in Motion
Design is one expression of a broader practice of attention. These are the other ways I look, move, and make – and the ways they feed back into the work.
Travel Photography
Learning to see.
I've carried a camera for over two years. Not to document, exactly – more to practice the discipline of noticing. Every trip is also a visual education: in light, pattern, material, and the way human beings organize space.
Aerial Yoga
Learning to trust constraint.
I came to aerial yoga looking for a physical practice that required genuine concentration – something that would get me out of my head by demanding all of it. I found that and something else: a profound education in structure.
The hammock is not a metaphor I chose – it chose me. There's a strict vocabulary of forms, each with precise requirements, and within that vocabulary, enormous expression. The constraint isn't the enemy of freedom. It's the condition that makes fluid movement possible. I think about this constantly when I design systems.
There is also something important about working with gravity – about learning the difference between resistance and release, and discovering that both are necessary. This, too, applies.
Art Collection
Learning to Select and Commit.
I've been drawn to art as a form of pure creation – work made without a brief, a user story, or a deadline. In a life shaped by screens and systems, collecting feels like an act of resistance. Each piece I bring home is a reminder that not everything needs to be measurable, optimised, or explained. Art lets me reset – to sit with something unresolved, to feel instead of solve. I'm early in this journey, searching for works that carry emotion I can't quite name: the kind that stops you mid-step and holds you there.
I came across Olga Shangina's work and was immediately captivated – her technique spoke directly to something I couldn't articulate on my own. “Her technique embodies contrasts of softness and intensity, symbolizing the resilience and hope found within human fragility, and each piece radiates a profound sense of harmony, optimism, and deep emotional reflection.” That description resonated deeply, and her art became my first step on a collector's journey.
